Hey what's up, first of all I'd like to thank to all of you
who have subscribed and to all the people who have kindly write a comment
and I want to say hello to BeatleFan Puebla and Rubber Soul channels
thank you so much for your comments this time we are going to review these 2 boxes
these are the Beatles EP collection and the singles collection
these boxes were originally released on vinyl
the EP box came out in 1981 and the singles boxes came out in 1882 (on vinyl)
these 2 boxes I have here are the CD versions and both came out in 1992
we are going to start with the EP collection box
this is the American version, there is a UK version
and a Japanese edition
this EP box nowadays is a bit hard to find
because it was released more than 20 years ago
so it's really hard to find it new and mint
VG or NM- could be found from 60-70 USD
to 100-110 USD approx.
let's take a look on the CDs and as you may know this EP were used only in the UK
and this is the 1st one
titled The Beatles Hits and they usually came with
4 songs
and originally came out with these covers
this 1st EP comes with From Me To You, Thank You Girl, Please Please Me
and Love Me Do
this is the 2nd EP titled Twist and Shout
and comes with Twist and Shout
A Taste of Honey, Do You Want to Know a Secret and There's a Place from 1963
let's continue
this is titled The Beatles No. 1 and comes with
I saw Her Standing There, Misery, Anna and Chains from 1963 too
here we have the cover from the album With The Beatles
and this EP is titled All My Loving
and comes with All My Loving, Ask Me Why, Money and PS I love You from 1963
let's continue this is the EP Long Tall Sally
when it came out for the first time in 1964, came with original songs not included
on other singles or albums and comes with
Long Tall Sally, I Call Your Name, Slow Down and Matchbox
later all these songs were included on the Past Masters Vol. 1
and we had a reissue for the 2014 Record Store Day
this EP is titled Extracts from the Film A Hard Day's Night and comes with
I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, Tell Me Why, And I Love Her
this one is from 1964 and comes with the cover of the album A Hard Day's Night
and the next is titled
Extracts from the album A Hard Day's Night and comes with
Any Time at All, I'll Cry Instead, Things we Said Today and When I get Home from 1964
this EP is titled Beatles for Sale and comes with
No Reply, I'm a Loser, Rock and Roll Music and Eight Days a Week
from '64 the next is titled Beatles for Sale No. 2
and comes with I Follow the Sun, Baby's in Black, Words of Love
and I Don't Want to Spoil the Party from 1964
this EP is titled The Beatles Million Sellers
and came with the best selling singles from their early days
and comes with She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand
Can't Buy Me Love and I Feel Fine released late 1964
let's continue with the EP titled Yesterday, I really like this cover is very cool
and comes with Yesterday, Act Naturally
You Like Me too Much and It's Only Love, this is from 1965
here's the EP Nowhere Man as you can see is a photo from the
video sessions for Paperback Writer
and comes with Nowhere Man, Drive My Car, Michelle and You Won't See Me
from 1965
and here we have the double EP
Magical Mystery Tour as the one I showed on the previous video
with the deluxe MMT version with the EP on vinyl
this is a CD replica with 2 CDs
in Stereo and Mono versions
for this Magical Mystery Tour EP
this is a mini replica of the original vinyl
as I told you this is the Stereo CD
and the Mono CD very cool
and finally this bonus (stereo) EP
as you can see the cover is exactly as the single
Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields
but comes with the songs The Inner Light, Baby You're a Rich Man, She's a Woman and This Boy
this is special because when it was first released
by 1981 it was the first time these songs were released
in stereo this 4 songs were only available in mono
and comes with some very interesting notes, for example
the song The Inner Light was a b side for Lady Madonna
in 1968 but this is the 1st time
you could have it on stereo, for the song Baby You're a Rich Man, b side for
the single All You Need is Love, could only be found in stereo
on the Magical Mystery Tour cassette and on the German MMT album
for She's a Woman b side for I Feel Fine
you could only get it on stereo inside an Australian album
and recently included on a compilation called Beatles Box
for the song This Boy never before available on stereo in UK
in 1981 when the vinyl EP's box originally came out
the CDs boxes were released in 1992 but they are replicas from the vinyl boxes
and This Boy stereo version
could only be found on albums from Canada and Australia
that's why this is a "bonus stereo" EP
all EPs came with this art on the CD and there are 15 EPs
inside this beautiful box, now we are going to review
the Singles Box collection and comes with 22 CD singles
and could be found from 80 to 130 USD approx.
but as I said before it's been a while since this boxes were released
so it's a bit hard to find it mint or even complete
so
yes it's difficult to find this box new
let's take a look on the singles, here's the 1st
single ever released by The Beatles in 1962 Love Me Do with PS I Love You as b side
and this singles came with
the same printed art as the cover
this is the 2nd single Please Please Me
with Ask Me Why and as most of you know
is the first time the singles came with photos on the cover
the originals had no pictures on the cover or printed on the vinyl
this was Please Please Me from 1963
here's the single From Me to You with Thank You Girl as b side
from 1963
here's the famous She Loves You
with I'll Get You as b side
from 1963
here it's I Want to Hold Your Hand with This Boy
from late 63, the song that broke the American market

the songs the next single A Hard Day's Night

this is another 1967 single All You Need is Love with Baby You're a Rich Man

all around the world the next single is

this is the 1st 1968 single Lady Madonna with The Inner Light
